Innovations and It’s People
Refuting Innovators is a Form of Piety
Shaykh Ahmad al-Najmi explains that warning against innovators and exposing false beliefs is a major act of piety and a form of jihad for the sake of Allah ﷻ. He adds that those who oppose such refutations are either ignorant or following their desires.
Questioner:
When we warn from the people of innovation and desires there are certain people say to us: “Fear Allāh , seek knowledge and leave refutations.” So is spreading refutations and warning from the people of innovation from piety?
Shaykh Aḥmad ibn Yaḥya al-Najmi:
Refuting the people of innovation is from the greatest form of piety and from the greatest type of Jihād for the sake of Allah . Those who say this are either ignoramuses or people of desires.
